Toronto Coffee Club | Stealth Founders
Stealth founders move differently. Quietly. Thoughtfully. With precision.
We’re bringing together a select group of stealth and pre-launch founders for a low-key, high-quality morning coffee gathering. No pitches. No panels. Just meaningful conversations with peers.
This is a founder-only event, hosted by Forum Ventures and MaRS IAF, two early-stage investors who believe in backing ideas before they hit the mainstream and building strong relationships long before term sheets.
Confidentiality matters. What happens at this gathering stays at this gathering. Founders should feel safe sharing openly. Everyone attending is expected to honor this commitment.
🥷 Why Join Us?
🔍 Get seen without going loud
Meet other stealth-mode builders and the investors hosting the event—Forum and MaRS—who understand and support early, under-the-radar builders.
🤝 Build relationships, not decks
This is about connection, not pitching. Come to swap insights, share progress (or lack thereof), and meet collaborators, confidants, or your next believer.
🧭 Ninja vibes only
It’s a founder-only gathering. No +1s, no funders in the room—just low-pressure, high-integrity energy among ambitious people building quietly.
